Текст пісні
He came with robes of tattered gold
A voice that bent the young and old
Promised water, sweet and clean
But turned the wells to gasoline
He spoke in tongues, he claimed a sign
Said, Drink, my children - you'll be divine
And those who drank now dream in flame
Whispers echoing his name
But the water went bitter, the sky turned black
The ground cracked open and never came back
He sang of light with a mouth full of rot
Built a throne from the bones he forgot
And when the winds began to moan and hum
They said Black Mungo was gonna come
They carved his lies into their skin
Set fire to the past with a crooked grin
He made the hungry kneel and crawl
And crowned himself the end of all
He preached with venom, cursed the sane
Wrapped the world in rust and chains
A thousand fools behind his trail
But every gospel turns pale
And the water went bitter, the light grew thin
No mercy left beneath their skin
He wore a halo made of wire
Set hearts alight, called it a choir
But in the dusk where the jackals drum
The wind cried out: Black Mungo's come
No one sees him-just the eyes
In the smoke, where silence lies
No grand speech, no holy war
Just a handprint on the door
And in the pariah's final breath
He saw no gods-just his death
A shadow moved, the sky went red
Then all went still. The cult was dead
The water went bitter, the lies ran dry
The prophet's temple kissed the sky
He screamed for mercy, but none was there
Just a beast with a rusted stare
And now the wind has a different hum
It whispers low
Black Mungo's come
Black Mungo's come
Black Mungo's come
